Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Venous insufficiency can cause a wound that is draining exudate and has significant granulation tissue present. The lack of reported pain may be due to the fact that venous insufficiency wounds are typically associated with a lower level of pain than arterial insufficiency wounds. Peripheral neuropathy and lymphatic disease are not typically associated with the characteristics described. Arterial insufficiency wounds would typically present with pain and minimal to no granulation tissue.
